Eggnog Ice Cream + 5 Uses for Leftover Eggnog

I made my very first homemade eggnog this season. I usually buy it from the store so we can each have a cup…..and only a cup. It’s RICH – and I don’t mean like Donald Trump. And honestly, I didn’t really like it that much – I just wanted to drink eggnog. It makes me feel cool. But then I came across this recipe from The Purposed Heart for Pumpkin Eggnog and it ROCKS MY FACE OFF! Seriously – it’s delicious. The stuff in the store doesn’t even compare – and plus, if you make this then you’ll know what’s in it….instead of the mysterious “natural flavoring.” What the heck is natural flavoring anyway? Do yourself a favor and make this. You’ll love it.

I had one cup of this nectar left over and I decided to whip up some ice cream using it. The result was a culinary holiday delight. It makes me feel cool to say “culinary holiday delight.”

You’ll need eggnog, maple syrup, heavy cream, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract and whole milk. That’s it. Stuff you should have laying around anyway….and if you don’t keep heavy cream on hand, start doing it. It’s good stuff, man. It’ll make you feel cool.

In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. Now that I’m writing this out, I realize how super easy this recipe is. If you can measure, you can make this ice cream…..notice, I didn’t say “if you can do math” because I’m not a math genius, folks.  Math is not required for ice cream….thank goodness.

Pour your ingredients into something with a lid and stick it in the fridge for 2-24 hours. Yes, that’s a wide span of time. Meaning, put it in there and get it out again when you remember it’s in there.

After refrigeration, churn that puppy according to your ice cream maker’s instructions. This is my Cuisinart….and we’re in love. It’s my favorite new kitchen tool – even beating out my Nutrimill. Notice I didn’t say that it beats out Barry…..because that would be wrong. Very wrong.

Here it is in all its beautiful eggnog glory. It’s sooooooooooooo good. It goes well with cookies – or so I’ve been told by various people in my house….not me, because I would never just sit down and eat a bowl of ice cream with cookies. *Cough*

But, if you don’t have an ice cream maker and you still want to make lots of eggnog goodies with your leftover eggnog, here are some suggestions from other bloggers….and by the way, after Christmas you can get eggnog on clearance for super cheap to make these delicious treats.

    First of all, I have never liked eggnog, but it sounds like you haven’t either, but you are developing a taste for it, so perhaps I should try it!

    Now, you won’t believe this…BRACE YOURSELF…Ruth of Ruth’s Real Foods recently had a post about what “natural flavorings” are…ARE YOU READY? Supposedly, they are secretions from the male parts of beavers!!

    Apparently (I say because the hubs invited them over and then informed me and ever since the first year of marriage he has not cooking interest) I’m making pancake breakfast for us and our friends from Nepal . . . just thinking about eggnog french toast now!
    I SO want an ice cream machine. Hmmmm, maybe I’ll save up those Kohl’s cards I will inevitably get for Christmas!

    Don’t forget Eggnog Cheesecake bars! 😉 That’s OUR favorite, though Mike will be nagging me about this ice cream until I make it.

Often, I have a hard time getting my kids to remember things I’ve taught them, like how to properly clean a toilet or clean mirrors. “I forgot.”⠀

You know what they don’t forget? Stuff they watch on You Tube. 🤪🤪⠀
⠀
So I went to You Tube and sourced kid videos about cleaning the bathroom. The kids all watched them. ⠀
⠀
Now they’re all cleaning their own bathrooms. Boom. 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worked for us. ⠀

** Just search on YT for “kid cleaning videos” and see what you find. Different parents have different parameters for what they allow. Barry and I screened videos first but each person can find their own. ❤️🤍

Hard times can make us or break us.

Our family experienced some big changes and shocks and pruning (removing) in 2021. Some days I didn’t want to get out of my house or my bed.⠀

I lived for too long believing that hustle was to the benefit of this family. ⠀

God’s call upon our life isn’t to hustle and grind our days away while we prove our worth and see our success. ⠀

No, friends. It’s God’s desire that when people look at you and me, they don’t see US or what WE accomplished but instead say:⠀
⠀
Wow, only God did that. ⠀
